Podcast listening software question

I’m looking for software or website that lets me listen to podcasts, but allows me to mark them where I’m at and shutdown the software or close the website. I normally don’t get to listen to an entire podcast in one setting, and windows media player loses my place when I close the application.

Any ideas?

Thanks,jb

Canon Camera CCD Image Sensor Issue

We bought a Canon S1 IS about 3 years ago. Its been a great camera. Around the beginning of October we noticed the LCD screen what all black and it wouldn’t take any photos. I started searching Google to see if anyone else had this problem and come to find out its a known issue. I contacted canon support and they had my send back my S1 IS. After about a week I got an email that they are fixing the camera and I should have it back in a week. Well about a week later a refurbished S3 IS shows up at my door. They don’t have the parts for my old S1 anymore so they sent me a S3. Sweet!!! Other than it uses SD instead of compact flash. This rocks. Canon has made me a very happy customer!!!

Here is the link if anyone needs it:

Clear Virtualization Licensing from Microsoft

Here’s an update to my previous post about Microsoft licensing on virtual infrastructure.

Mark Wilson has posted an outline of the current Microsoft licensing stance when it comes to virtualization. Thankfully it just reaffirms what I’ve thought to be the case all along, but it’s great to get it confirmed like this.

Check out markwilson.it and particularly the post called A clear virtualization licensing and support statement from Microsoft

Basically it is just a better presentation of my own analysis of the licensing terms back in December 2006.

Search for Free! Search Server 2008 Express Announced

Looks like this could be a free option instead of the Google appliance. I’m still trying to tell if it requires SQL 2005.

Today Microsoft released a new Search offering - Search Server 2008 Express.  This is on top of the recently announced Search Server 2008, and of course Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

"Express?  Does this mean, like in so many other products with that moniker, that this is free?"

Yep.  Free. 

"So.. it’s scaled down, I bet.  Probably some limit on the number of items you can index, right?"

Wrong.  From what I’ve read, it’s pretty much the same product as the Enterprise version Search Server 2008 - only without the enterprise-class high availability and load balancing options that you get in MOSS 2007 and Search Server 2008.  Check out this comparison page for more details on the three main search offerings from Microsoft.

And here’s the press release that came out today, also.

Reinstall Windows and outfit your system with all freeware programs

After just coming back to XP (link) This is a great list of new free software to try.

 

Description: I recently clean installed Windows XP on my laptop, and this meant that I had to re-install all the essential software that I use. It also presented an opportunity to write a posting about how you can outfit your computer with all the essential (and non-essential) software you need using strictly 100% freeware and/or [...]

Google Apps API

I’m using Google Apps for this site. Only for email. It works great. I just just wish they had the same API’s and intergration that they do on standard Gmail accounts.

For example Plaxo, can now sync with Gmail, but not Google Apps Email, why?

So many other mashups intergrate with Gmail no Google Apps email…. ARGG
